No 64GB iPad 2 models in AT&T stores today; no iPad 2 at all in some Verizon stores?

We’ve just heard that AT&T retail stores won’t be selling the beefiest iPad 2 model today. Apparently, AT&T stores have received 16GB and 32GB iPad 2 models in black and white, but the highest capacity version is noticeably absent. Perhaps this is due to a supply issue or just the fact that Apple and AT&T have forecast that the majority of consumers will purchase 16GB and 32GB iPads, but it’s a tad bit interesting. We have reached out to AT&T for comment and will update this post accordingly. As for Verizon Wireless stores, we recommend customers call ahead of time to check if their local store will be carrying the iPad 2 at all today. We’ve been told not all Verizon locations will have them in stock but they can all place orders on site. The Verizon Wireless locations that will carry the iPad 2 today should be receiving the 64GB model, we’ve been told.

UPDATE: We have confirmed AT&T stores do not have 64GB models for sale later today, and we have confirmed that Verizon stores that are selling the iPad 2 do have 64GB models. Additionally, our local Apple store does not have Verizon iPad 2 units for sale. Very interesting…

The 64GB AT&T model is the one that I want… but I was planning on going to the Best Buy store down the street. There is a Target next door to me as well. If neither of those locations have it I am going to bet that I can find it at the Apple Store that is not too far from me.

No 16’s or 32’s either. They are only selling Androids.

I heard that the Verizon data plans for the iPad 2 are all prepay plans.

how is it possible that these major corporations still cannot get it together for big product launches.

Its not these major corporations, its the capacity of the shops in China. Apple has had to go out and actually help these Chinese shops build their infrastructure and make billions in investment just to increase their capacity. Apple simply can’t build enough to satisfy the demand. Its their biggest obstacle.

It’s called demand, and the demand outweighs their ability to make them quick enough.

This is exactly why I won’t buy Apple products. If you can’t supply them to everyone who wants one then what’s the point?

We received a notification from our AT&T rep that they will not be carrying the 64 gig in their stores.

“Also, please note the 64 gb versions purchased via AT&T have to be ordered electronically and are not available in an AT&T store.”

AT&T Tired

Except that 64GB is not listed on their site. Yea AT&T!

Not all att stores are getting them either. In my area, one out of five stores will be carrying them at launch.

I’ve called 10 Verizon stores in the Atlanta area and they all say that Verizon will NOT have iPad2 in stock and can only order them.

Got my 32gb at at&t

First month free no contract or activation fee. Winning. Duh???

disappointed

I went to my local att store and they looked at me like I was crazy to expect them to have any Ipad 2s today. I then went to my local apple store, but not in line soon enough to get one.

Yesterday around 7:40 PM, at my local Best Buy the Wifi only model -> sold out, AT&T -> sold out, but they still have a few 64 GB (Black and white) Verizon.

My local AT & T store told me today that they have had zero ipad 2’s of any size since they went on sale last Friday.

Friend went to local at&t store, stood in line for 1 hour and was told 64GB was sold out.
